Abstract
ON December n, 1900, Prof. Lorentz celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his doctorate. His physical researches thus extend over rather more than a quarter of a century. In editing them for publication, Prof. Lorentz has aimed at bringing them into the form of a connected series, and a great many modifications and alterations have been made with the view of rendering the collection more useful in the light of recent developments. A number of papers of minor importance have been omitted and changes of notation have been freely made; instead of adopting a chronological order, the author has classified his papers according to subject-matter, and several new and hitherto unpublished results now find their way into print for the first time.
